You might consider a Yahoo! acount to manage your mailing list 
subscriptions. This will permit you to keep any of the email addresses 
that you've recently subscribed with for their intended purposes, i.e., 
non-mailing list oriented. You can set up an account under any name you 
choose, real or made up, and all your 'real' contact info will be 
behind the scenes. This will also permit you to manage any offline, 
i.e., off topic, conversations you might conduct with other list 
members using only the .....@... address.

As Phil wisely suggested, you might also consider changing your list 
subscriptions to 'web only' - especailly if you subscribe to many 
lists, or at the least, one or two high volume lists. The Logic Users 
list for example is HUGE. I don't need 100+ emails a day from THAT 
monster, know what I mean?! 'Web Only' makes it more than managable.

A combination of these two approaches might be well suited to your 'no 
spam' approach. Good luck - and welcome to the list.

HTH,
